You don't need to take it apart you just need to loosen the bolts to clock it.

Yeah, it's easy to rotate the compressor housing on many turbos.

agreed, you can loosen the bolts on the housings, which will allow you to turn them to face which ever direction you would like. Be sure to snug them up nice & tight when your done so that there aren't any leaks.

sometimes i loosen everything, put it on the engine & adjust it to face the exact spot there.. then tighten one bolt to hold it in place, pull it off the engine & tighten the rest. It's much easier to make it all the way around the housing while it's not on the engine. best of luck to ya.
